01612749225 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612749225 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number frequently linked to scam and cold sales calls claiming to be from O2. Callers often pressure recipients to discuss mobile deals, offer free SIM cards or handsets, and sometimes ask for personal or bank details - requests which genuine O2 representatives do not make. Many users report rude behaviour, repeated calls despite being blocked, and suspicions of overseas call centres using UK numbers. While some comments suggest it might be a legitimate O2 sales team number, the overwhelming consensus advises caution, blocking the caller, and not sharing any personal information. It is recommended to verify with official O2 channels and report unwanted calls to the Telephone Preference Service where applicable.

Got a call on my phone from some guy asking for me by name. I asked what it was about and he said he was from OT. When I asked who OT was, he snapped back, trying to mimic my accent, saying it’s just the letters O and T. I told him to get lost, ignoramus, and hung up. This number’s called a few times before but it’s the first time I actually picked up.

Some woman rang claiming she was from O2, saying she could help me save cash. Then she goes on asking if I’m pay as you go or on a contract. I told her if she’s really from O2, she should already know that. Told her to take my number off their list and not to call me again as I have it blocked.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from O2, and apparently, he was based in Manchester. I wasn't entirely convinced about his legitimacy, so I did a quick search on the number, and lo and behold, it was flagged as an O2 scam. When I brought this up, he insisted it was all above board and offered to send a text for verification. Sure enough, a message arrived from 02uk. He then started probing me with questions about my current provider and my monthly phone expenses. Honestly, it felt relentless; I’ve been inundated with these types of calls recently but have managed to ignore them. At a loss for any valid response, I told him I was under 18, and just like that, he cut the line. Odd, isn’t it?

They kept ringing me all week, calling repeatedly. When I finally picked up, they asked for some random bloke’s name. I was like, “Sorry, who’s this?” Then he said he was from O2. I told him he must have the wrong number, but he just said it didn’t matter what my name was, they could still sort it out. So I told him to remove my number from their list, and he totally lost it on me! I warned I’d report him if he didn’t stop, but he just kept shouting. So I hung up. Proper nasty bloke.

Just got a call a little while ago and when I picked up, the lady said her name was Emily with a really strong Indian accent. I always feel suspicious when folks use an English name but speak with an Indian accent. She said she was calling from O2. I don't even have an O2 account so I told her that straight away and then I just ended the call.

Some bloke from South Africa, said he was with O2, called me from a number in Manchester. Asked for my bank info to post a SIM, I told him to send me an actual letter with the offer and I’d consider it. O2 in South Africa are legit, so I reckon someone’s hired a dude with that accent on purpose, and I’m sure it’s not for a nice reason.

This number has called my old phone twice today but left no message and didn’t pick up when I answered. Really grateful for whocallsme to help me identify these calls, so now I can just block them.

I got a call from this number on my phone, and it flagged up a warning about potential fraud.

This is definitely 02, they have sim only offers for folks with poor credit and its totally genuine. After paying your bills for three months, you can get a phone on contract without any credit check. Honestly, I got 2 sims from them and they arrived the very next day. The people on the phone are really nice too. So yeah, it’s 02. If you’re not interested in the sim, just say no, simple as that xx

I’ve never been an o2 customer so I’m puzzled why they keep ringing me, especially since I’ve had their number blocked for ages and they still keep trying to call.

They call every single day but never pick up. If it was really urgent, you’d think they’d leave a message or something.

Told my disabled wife the caller claimed to be from O2. He asked her to verify loads of her personal info? I grabbed the phone and challenged him. He said he was calling from South Africa, but the number showed as Manchester. Kept insisting he was from O2 but couldn't give me a proper head office number to check. After 5 minutes of dodgy answers, I chose to report him. Asking a vulnerable adult to hand over private details to push unwanted stuff should be illegal here in the UK. This company should be blocked for fraud.

Calls non stop. Pretending to be from O2. Just ignore and put them on block.

Got a call from someone pretending to be O2 offering an amazing phone deal for just £25 a month, total scam. Definite fake O2, beware and don’t fall for it!

Got a call from 02 again, just another spammy sales pitch.

I never said they could ring me up but they called anyway. The call was supposedly about an O2 contract, but funny thing is, O2 never return calls like that. Feels like a dodgy scam to me.

Oh great, it's O2 calling me once more!

Got a call from 01612749225 saying they were O2 wanting to update my contract. Thing is, I’m already with O2 on a pay monthly deal with no contract at all. Feels like this was just some kind of scam to me.
